Rugby shirts

I don’t really know all that much about it, either, but as the New York Jets’ season has unraveled, as the Yankees have come apart at the seams, and as the Knicks continue their downward spiral into uncharted ignominy, I have been thinking more and more about rugby, a noble and pure sport. By the time the next World Cup comes around, I’ll be ready. The shirts are good, too. Tough fabric makes them excellent for falling down in, and the rubber buttons make it less likely you’ll take somebody’s eye out in the scrum. You can find a great selection at www.americanrugby.com. The resourceful Mr. Lauren offers some nice vintagey-looking shirts, too, and you can even order and customize them online (www.rugby.com). How do you wear one well? Don’t wear it with a suit.
